A baby-faced burglar with a lisp stole from a 90-year-old man after talking her way into his home.

The thief -thought to be in her late teens - distracted the pensioner as she swiped £20 from his house in Herne Bay.

She had knocked on his door the day before and asked if he wanted to buy raffle tickets for a children’s charity.

It was cold outside so he invited her in while he found £3 for some tickets. Detective Constable Leigh Woolnough said: “The following day she turned up again, this time with a young man.

“While she was talking to him about the lottery her companion asked for a glass of water. As the victim went to the kitchen to get him a drink they stole about £20 in cash."

The woman is described as aged between 17 and 18, about 5ft tall and of a heavy build.

On the first visit she wore a dull brown/red jumper with a zip, and on the second visit a grey jumper with the word Love written on the left side. She spoke with a lisp.

The man is described as being the same age, of slim build and about 5ft 5in tall. He had dark brown hair, was clean-shaven and wore dark casual clothing.

Det Constable Woolnough is appealing for anyone who recognises the e-fits released of the pair or may have encountered them to call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111, quoting crime number ZY/2266/11.
